CLEVELAND AND POWELL.
Ex-senator Henry q Davis On National
Politics.

EOhtlchs
special II sgrGm to ne Register.
WASHINGToN, D. c., August IA gen
tleman who has been spending few days
at Deer Park, Md, has repeated to the
REGISTER representative talk he had
with ex-senator Henry c. Davis, of West
Va, ON the political prospects. The ex
Senator expressed the opinion that the re-
nomination of Mr. Cleveland for the presi-
dency 10y the Democratic party was a
loregour conclusion. lie said that the
Democratic party is timid party, but that
Mr.. Cleveland had displayed 50 much
nerve and determination that the people
OF the country now have the utmost con
ideuce IN him, and it is for that his re-
nomination is made necessity Speaking
of the names of those who have been men
toned IN connection with the second
place on the Democratic ticket Mr.. Davis
expressed the opinion that il Gen. Tom
Powell, who was nominated aS the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor at Cleveland
week before last, makes anything like "a
good run and keeps the Republican msior-
ity down, even il not elected, he would
probably loom up ~ a very formidable
cndldatc for the second place on the Pres
idential ticket with Cleveland. Mr. Davis
SAYS that Gen. Powell is Il much stronger
man than Postmaster General Villas or
some OF those whose names have already
been suggested ~ Vice Presidential caudl-
dates. lie says that Villas aud the Others
referred to are fancy men, and do not
possess the solid substance required OF q
Vice President Villas and the others, he
says. can make good aud flowing speeches,
bat that is all. lie has great confidence
that should Powell make = strong canvass
in Ohio he will attract national attention,
which he thinks will probably result in
giving the nomination for the Vice Presi-
deucy ut the next Democratic National
COuyentIau

again switched completely around and
now says he will spend the winter on the

The correspondent is not prepared TO say
whether the Sherman resolution passed by
the Ohio Convention is responsible for this,
but he does know that on Friday Mr. Blaine
received an imposing batch of cables from
the United States and that the alteration of
his plans then ensued.
Some OF these were Ohio advices: others
came from Mr.. Blaine's friends, and, the

LONDON, August despite the cen
sure that the Belgian Chamber of Deputies
has placed upon General Won Der Smys-
sen, and the subsequent apology demand
ed from that officer for his publicly-eN-
pressed criticisms at the Chambers pro-
credings, there is oGe suggestion contained
in the fiery officers words that may he
adopted by the Government. In the Gen
erals address 10 the army, when ne de-
uOuncch the rejection hy the Chamber of
the Personal Military Service hill be said
that Belgium would be- obliged tO depend
upon her army and dcicnSrs Tor her future
independence and honor That the Gov
ernmcnt will improve the suggestion seems
exceedingly probable, Judging from recent
information. With peace army of lc~s
than 3d. 900 men, and with frontier lines
not well protected, this sturdy little por-
ton Of the Low Countries might easily he
come the battlefield Of the continent in our
dav rs it Was in the seventeenth century.
The Belgian Government, aware Of the
exceeding narrOwneSs of EurOpc'- peace
lines, see the adyiSabllity of placing their
country somewhat on an equality with her
neighbOrs. They appreciate that If France
was attacked by Germany, Belgium would
